Morocco travel guide for October weather and destinations

Travelers visiting Morocco in October can expect a transition in weather that avoids the extreme heat of summer. While days remain warm and sunny, evenings become cooler, particularly in the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert.

Key destinations for this period include Marrakech, the Sahara, the imperial cities, and the Atlas Mountains for hiking. Coastal areas like Essaouira and Agadir offer more temperate climates due to the Atlantic Ocean. In Marrakech, afternoon temperatures often reach near 20°C, while the Sahara experiences rapid temperature drops after sunset.
